   But I have no faith in Jesus, so that can't be the explanation for my   
   good health.   
      
   In the 14th century nearly everyone in Europe had faith in Jesus, but   
   that didn't protect nearly half of them from dying of the black plague.

   True, it can.  It killed almost one percent as many people as driving   
   or walking to the pharmacy to get the vaccination did.  And almost   
   a hundred-thousandth as many people as covid itself did.   
      
   If only nobody had gotten vaccinated, there would probably be about   
   five Americans alive today who were killed by it.  (And about two   
   million additional Americans dead today due to covid.  But they'd be   
   with Jesus, so that doesn't count.)   
      
   Also, we should ban bathtubs because some people drown in them.   
   And airplanes because sometimes they crash.  And the sun because   
   skin cancer.
